Seems like if you combine it with some sort of penetration device it could work, but I think the same holds true for male VR porn. I mean, if it's not immersive or interactive, it's just watching fancy 3D POV porn, innit?

You can describe it like that, but its still a strange feeling when you see those girl and your brain thinks you are there and she/he is close to your face. Besides that some studios also use binaural audio to make it even more realistic.

It is kinda scary if you ask me.

And like I said it also depends on the producer. Some use these "giantess", because they dont have a clue what the proper size should be. Some make it well. The best one right now imo are those CzechVR things. The size is right and the video quality is good.

Is pov porn even a thing for women outside of VR? I've never seen such a thing, and there is a lot of pov porn designed for men. (I don't need to see links I'm just curious if anyone out there has seen anything that would fit that description)

I know that there's "porn for women" but a lot of my female friends mostly resort to fanfiction for titillation because that's actually written by women for women whereas "women porn" is still mostly created with the male in mind. I imagine it's no different or even worse for a niche like VR porn.

It exists (female POV porn), but it's not really that popular for a myriad of reasons, not the least of which is that while there's a great deal of women that watch porn, there aren't a great deal of women that take the time to search it out.

That's not what this is, though. The video is the OP is one woman's experience specifically with VR porn movies, and why that one (there's more out there than this one, and they're not all filmed exactly the same way) didn't work for her. Which is why the discussion has mostly centered around the limitations of VR porn movies (both for women specifically, and in general).

Freaky sense of scale (when someone is on top of you they are a giant).
Zero interaction built in, feeling of powerlessness.
All women who try the 'female' version, take off the headset because its too uncomfortable. The porn. Not the headset.

Actually it is totally interesting if someone would make a great VR movie. The small bits from all those Introduction to VR videos are great and a good documentary where someone explains to you about, lets say, hot springs and you sit in one at the same time would be good.
Or some documentary about dangerous roads and you sit in the truck.
Its great, because you can experience that.

There was one part in the Introduction to VR video where you sit in a Mongol hut. Its really great because you can see how it really looks from inside and, if there would be a reporter, he could do an interview with the family while you sit "with them" in their home.

The resolution of current VR headsets just isnt there yet to have such content that would blow away normal people.

It's a subset. And it's arguably larger then the Adult VR games subset at this point. And the video is about about 360 degree (well, technically 180 degree) videos, so that's why I mentioned it.

Truthfully, I think we'll get some level of interactivity in VR videos (something to the level of choose your own adventure that works with gaze tracking) before we get adult VR games that look/act close enough to realistic to be anything more than a niche audience.

I wonder if the user experience is different using a Gear VR (like she says she does in the video). Depending on the software available for the device, the experience could be different.

Usually when I hear people mention the scaling/proportion issues, it's because they're watching a 180-degree 3DVR video in 2D mode, which with a SBS video would wrap each screen around you at 180-degrees, with each eye's video being seamed onto each set of 180-degrees. This goes for all types of 3D videos, not just porn. It's just less noticeable in the other stuff because well, it's usually not people and usually not porn.

- Porn isn't the best quality industry in the first place
- Female porn production are even less considered
- Porn games are a niche targeting male players, with awful western games and better japanese games that never release outside Japan due to US/western laws
- VR games are just at the beginning of their era and there is a lot to do

So did anyone had some expectations for a VR female porn game?
We're decades away from this.

I'm lost, what is the point that's being made here? Nothing you said invalidates anything that she said, and she likely understands all of these things. We're as far away from quality VR porn for women because people don't point out how bad it is enough.

This is a valid complaint, but in the end she should realize its a VR video not rendered, but filmed. I could use that complaint with normal movies and say "I am just watching Avengers. Why cant I decide what they will do?"

I would also say that right now there is actually a lot of female POV VR porn out. More than normal porn I would say.

I actually wonder what kind of female porn a female would want. The female VR porn right now is "you are the woman, some guy is pleasuring you."

There is no expectation that a film will give you interactivity, but it becomes a problem in this setting when the goal is to put you into a certain situation. For a lot of women - more often than men I would reckon - being in the situation that the video puts them in can be a distressing encounter, so for it to be marketed as pornography for women is not the best idea because it does seem like - in this producer's case anyway - like it was done poorly. It may be an inherent problem with the medium, but at the same time a comparison cannot be drawn to non-VR porn. When you watch porn intended to arouse women, it can be done in a similar fashion to porn intended to arouse men. In this medium though, porn producers will likely have to adapt.

I wouldn't be surprised if most people working on VR are male, and are making it for their own tastes/interests perspective, making the female version... not sure what the term would be appropriate, lower quality?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.

There are not really tastes or interests in VR Porn.
The technology is so limited so far, that there's basically only one thing available, and little else.
Either you like that or you don't, but there's not much wiggle room to produce more creative stuff, when you're so restrained by such a new technology.

They're forced to place the camera a certain way, produce a certain kind of video, and of course can't give you any "agency" because it's a video.
